A one-way door is a small fitting placed over the actual gap a possum has been using to get into a roof space in New Farm. It works like a flap or hinge that lets the possum push out from the inside but will not push back open from the outside, so the animal can leave the roof cavity in its own time along a path it already uses.
Finding the right gap for the door matters more than the door itself. The crew we book will walk the roofline first, looking at eaves, roof vents, ridge lines and any old chimney breast, since a door fitted over the wrong gap does nothing while the possum keeps using a different opening nearby. Once the working entry point is found, the door goes on cleanly and is checked to sit flush against the roofline.
The door stays in place for a short run of days to give the possum time to leave on its own, and the crew we book will come back to check the roof cavity is clear before sealing the gap for good. Homes in New Farm with steep or multi-level roofs sometimes need a second ladder position to reach the right spot, which the crew will sort out on the day.
